Flame of Recca (1) vs. Schwarz

(Recca point of view)

"Alyssa. Ice. Melissa. Where are you?" I called out. Cursed house, why did it have to be so big? I'm having a hard time looking for our hosts.

"Yes, Recca-kun" Alyssa said, appearing from nowhere.

"Can you pull hime into this world?" I asked. It had been two days since we were pulled into this world and I missed hime badly.

"The idea that he is in a different world has finally penetrated his thick skull." Tokiya who had been following me said.

Alyssa stared. And stared .at Tokiya.

"Um.Alyssa? So?" I said impatiently. What is it with her and Tokiya?

"Yeah. Sure.just give me a few seconds." She mumbled, the colour creeping up her checks. She ran off in the opposite direction.

"I think she likes you Tokiya." I said amused.

"Baka. Monkey, you don't know a thing." Tokiya said, heading in the same direction as Alyssa.

We came to this huge room filled with a huge collection of anime and a HUGE projection TV. Their Alyssa was attempting to pull a very confused Yanagi out of the screen. Hanging to Yanagi's other hand was Kage Houshi. I quickly ran forward and grabbed hime's arm. With a yank she tumbled out and into my arms, heavenly bliss was mine at last.

"Hime. I missed you." I said happily.

"Recca-kun. Where are we?" Yanagi looked around, a dazed expression on her face.

"You don't miss me?" Kage Houshi asked accusingly.

"We're in a different world. Some weird girls decided to pull us here to fight with some other people." Tokiya said smoothly, helping Yanagi up.

"Ohio, Yanagi-Chan." Alyssa said, giving her a big smile.

"Arigatou." I said. Grabbing Yanagi's hand, I pulled her out of the room and began explaining the whole thing to her.

Kage Houshi shook her head and said, "so. We're in a different world. How strange."

"I know. We have a fight tomorrow. Against some team called Schwarz. Kurei and gang is here too." Tokiya said.

"I wouldn't underestimate Schwarz if I was you. They are really good." Alyssa went starry eyed.

"So? We have beaten so many teams that they're probably nothing." Tokiya said arrogantly.

"What do mean.I mean who are you?" Kage Houshi asked.

"Hi! My name is Alyssa and I'm one of the hosts for the tournament. Schwarz.well they have powers, and don't really use weapons. I can't tell you, but could you go tell Recca-kun that the fight will be at the warehouse at midnight. Tomorrow morning. Don't be late." Alyssa said, leaving the room.

At midnight, both teams were assembled in an old depilated warehouse in the semi-darkness. Ready for battle. Not much of an audience. It was only the second night and most of the teams wanted to sleep at this unearthly hour. Of course that doesn't hold true from the fangirls.

Alyssa, Melissa and Ice were in a small room on the second floor.

"Konichiwa. Today I shall be the announcer and Melissa is the judge. And the first fight of the tournament is Flame of Recca against Schwarz from Weiss kruez. The people from Flame of Recca are Domon, Fuuko, Tokiya, Koganei and Recca is their team leader. And from Schwarz, there's Nagi, Schuldig, Farfarello and their team leader Brad." Alyssa said.

"The arena as you can see is this old warehouse. Since you all already know each other, let's start the start the first fight. Domon vs. Schuldig!" Alyssa continued.

(Domon point of view) I stepped up and faced this totally feminine looking orange haired freak. This would be a breeze. A sphere enclosed the place we were standing in. how queer. It was see through, like a bubble. I touched it, it was soft yet couldn't be broken.

"Let the fight begin." Alyssa screamed into the microphone. Melissa stepped into the sphere through a door that magically appeared.

I felt a presence inside my mind, like that time when Noroi took over my mind. It couldn't be, that guy, he could control minds. My eye widen in shock.

"How smart of you to realize." A voice echoed in my head. It sounded like Tokiya. But that couldn't be.

My hand started to move on its own, or under someone else's control. It kept punching at myself. Once, twice, three times. I was on the ground, out cold for the moment. My strength was being used against me.

"How pathetic. I was hoping for a more worthy opponent." The voice said.

I would not give up so easily. I had defeated Aki and Noroi before. And I wasn't going to allow this sissy win this fight. I got up and looked him in the eye. But in a flash he was gone. What the?

He appeared next to me, "sissy you said?"

His fist connected with my stomach and I crumpled to the ground. So I had underestimated him. He was fast, too fast. One moment he was here, the next there. It was impossible to even hit him. But his punches rained down on me. They were so unexpected and came from every direction. I couldn't block them.

Soon I was a bloody mess. My nose was bleeding profusely, and I had two black eyes. Bruises were starting to pop up all over my body. I wanted to scream out, but kept my cool. I couldn't let my friends down. I wasn't the weakest of the lot. I couldn't lose. Yanagi was watching in horror, Recca and Fuuko had worried looks on their faces. Tokiya just stared coolly; Koganei was speaking with Kage Houshi.

'Crack' Schuldig was that his name? Had just elbowed my chest. I could hear something breaking. But it wasn't my ribs it was his elbow. My determination had allowed my elemental weapon to work. He winced in pain and moved away from me, his attacks stopping momentarily.

" Wow, wow, what has happened here? Schuldig has gotten hurt for the first time. The fight is not over yet. Anybody could win, with both parties injured. Who will come out tops?" Alyssa said, from the top box.

"So there's more to you then meet the eye huh? Well we'll see about that." he spoke inside my head once again. He took control of my body. My attacks started again, but it was directed at myself. With every hit I gave myself, I could consciousness slipping away. Finally I blacked out. I had lost. I knew it; I had let my friends down. I was the weakest of the group.

(Koganei point of view)

The sphere was removed and we rushed forward to get Domon. He was out cold. I wasn't surprised, after an attack like that. I was up next, against that Nagi kid. He was so calm. I wondered what power he had. Schuldig could control minds, would he be the same?

Alyssa, the announcer said, " so the first fight is over, with Schuldig taking an easy win over Domon. Next up, Nagi vs. Koganei, the youngest members of both groups. Who will win? Well, will the two step up and let the second match begin!"

I shivered slightly as the sphere enclosed us. This was it. Melissa stepped in and so it begun. I was lifted up into the air and before I knew what was happening, I started spinning, finally being thrown down onto the ground. I got up and ran off to the side, attacking him from the back. But it didn't work. He stopped me before I could bring my blade down. Changing the Anki to it's second from; I threw the chain sickle in his direction. He leapt into the air and gracefully dodged it. It was as if he anticipated my every move.

Doing a somersault, I used the Anki's fourth from and tried attacking. He took control of it and soon I was running from my own weapon. I slipped under the blade as it passed me by and grabbed it from the back. It was in my control once again.

I ran towards him, changing my Anki into it's third from, the scissors. Grabbing his leg with it and swung myself up hit him in the chest with my legs. He was winded for the moment, but that was all I needed. Changing my Anki back into its original form I slashed his chest. Blood spurted out. Yeah. Finally he was hurt.

Not giving him a chance to recover, I hit him at the lower part of his head with the butt of my Anki. He fell to the ground, out cold, but not for long. He was soon up again.

"Give up already. You'll never survive another of my attacks." I told him. I didn't want to hurt him too badly. Neither did I want to kill him.

He didn't say anything, just looked at me. My weapon flew out of my hands and before I knew it I was up in the air. Down on the ground. Up in the air. Down on the ground. Being bounced across the entire arena. I felt as if my head was in pieces when he finally stopped.

Seeing that he wasn't going to continue and that his concentration was elsewhere. I got up and rushed for the Anki, which was some distance away. Grabbing it, I changed it into its boomerang from and directed it at him. It caught him from the back. Changing it into its fifth form, I shot an arrow, which pierced his hands. If I was right, that was where his power came from. He screamed out in pain. Changing the Anki into the scissors I planned to pin him down, but he had created a force field around himself. It was impossible to get through. But I wasn't about to give up. Using the Anki's sixth form, I threw the center towards him. He let it through and that was his big mistake. All the other parts rushed towards him and he was done for. Immobilized.

Melissa gave Alyssa the signal.

"So it seems that the younger has come out victorious. And both teams are tied. What will happen next? The next fight, fuuko-chan against brad-sama." Alyssa said.

I got up and released Nagi-san. Watching as the sphere dissolved into thin air, I ran up to a beaming Yanagi-chan and hugged her. Recca-san pulled me away and that was when I fainted.

(Fuuko point of view)

The poor boy, the bouncing had really taken its toll. He was slumped on the ground in a dead faint. Yanagi and Recca knelt down beside him, trying their best to revive him.

"Fuuko-chan. It's your turn!!!" Alyssa shouted.

I looked up. That arrogant bastard from Schwarz was already waiting. He was their team leader and probably the most powerful of the lot. I wondered what power he wielded. Looking back at Koganei, I hesitated. Tokiya looked up at me signaling for me to go. I stuck out my tongue and stepped onto the arena. The sphere appeared. Melissa stepped in, giving me the thumb up sign. I smiled back, turning to face Brad.

"Let the fight begin." Alyssa said.

I looked at him for a second, and then directed a blade of wind towards him. He dodged it easily. It was expected. But don't think my fighting skills are at this standard. I thought to myself. Sending a few more blades of winds at him, I leapt into the air and began an air attack. He dodged each attack easily, too easily. Time to bring this fight to the next level. I skated around the arena trying to attack from different directions at top speed, sending out blasts, blades, balls, tornadoes of winds at him. But he either dodged them or blocked them. Never getting hurt or tired out in the process. I decided it was time to use the kaze no tsume. Inserting the orb into the Fujin, the claws magically appeared.

I directed them at him, shooting out six at a time. Making them speed towards him from every direction possible. But he dodged all of them, making them pierce the ground instead. It wasn't possible. How could he have? They were too fast and sudden. He couldn't have been able to dodge all of them. Unless he knew that they were coming before hand.

That had to be it. It could see into the future.

"You can see into the future can't you? That's the only way you could have blocked and dodged all my attacks." I asked him.

He smirked. "Yes. And I foresee that it is time to end this fight."

He came towards me with such speed and agility that I barely had time to defend myself.

I leaped out of harm's way, but he followed me easily. Soon it was like a game of cat and mouse. I was the mouse and he was the cat. I ran he followed. More than once he had blocked my way and I was force to change direction. I continued to direct attacks at him but none ever connected.

"Enough of this." he said. "I'll make it short and sweet."

He rushed to me and before I even had time to react, punched me in my stomach. Hard. My eyes widened in surprise. He could move so fast. I knew I was no match for him, but I wasn't going to give up because of that.

I got up from the ground, clutching my stomach. He wasn't going to have an easy victory. I doubled the speed of my attacks and the forces of them were much stronger too. He had to get tired soon. It wasn't possible to be able to keep this up for long. I was wrong. In an instant he was over by my side once again. He took hold of my hair and brought my head down, making me bend forward and brought his leg up to meet my stomach.

I winced as the pain doubled in my stomach. I crumpled in a heap onto the floor. I couldn't give in. I wasn't done yet. I told myself. Looking up at him, I could see him smiling.

His face glistened in the moonlight. He was panting. Somehow I knew that he wasn't going to expect an attack from me. I shot my leg out, but it didn't hit anything. He had caught hold of it.

"Not done yet?" he questioned.

He lifter me by my leg and threw me across the arena. I lay there not moving. Seconds, minutes passed. Finally, I got up again. Before I could regain my balance he was attacking me. Punches covered my entire body. I sank to the floor, unable to even move. He was the winner.

"So the winner for this round is Brad-sama. I love you brad." Alyssa shouted.

"And so the last round for the morning is Tokiya-san vs. Farfarello. Did you know the Farfarello is actually the Irish devil? I never knew that. Coo huh? Anyway will the two please come onto the arena? And would someone like to send Fuuko-chan to the medical ward. We do have one you know. Schuldig and Nagi should go too. There's a proper nurse there and she's very good. Gomen didn't tell all of you earlier. Made all of you suffer for nothing. Ice can bring you there. Right Ice?" Alyssa continued.

"Yeah. Just hold on while I make my way down." Ice replied coolly

I felt someone carrying me off the arena. Looking up, I noticed it was Tokiya.

"I guess I really screwed up huh? Mi-chan." I said softly.

"Well looks like I have to clear it up. Domon will bring you to the med. Ward." He replied, putting me down and heading for the arena.

(Tokiya point of view)

Picking up a bottle of mineral water, I poured it onto the Ensui. I walked calmly to the arena. I had to win my fight to bring us to a draw.

Melissa stepped in and we began.

Both of us met our weapons clashing with each other. He was using a dagger like weapon. It had a handle like any normal dagger, but the blade of rounded and could be extended at will. We leapt apart, landing gently on either side of the arena. He was fast and very agile, like a cat. He had white hair and an eye-patch over his left eye. His other eye was like a cat. It was yellow. His face was covered with scars and he wore bandages on his arms.

We attacked at the same time. He would attack and I would defend. I would attack and he would defend. Forward and backwards, again and again. It was like a never-ending cycle. Each swift stroke and cut of my sword would meet his dagger, held up at just the right position to block. We flew back again. Gasping for breath. This couldn't go on for long. I had to finish this fight fast. I attacked at a faster pace, not wanting to use my hyomon ken techniques this early in the fight. I managed to slash Farfarello.

He doesn't even seem to hurt or be in pain. Is the slash to shallow? But blood is flowing freely from the wound. Why doesn't he even pause? I block his attacks and finally manage to knock his weapon out of his hands. I continue to attack, slashing and cutting at his body, but he doesn't seem to feel anything, and continues to attack with his bare hands.

I don't understand. He doesn't seem to stop even when he's so badly hurt. He suddenly pounced on me. I was so shocked but stabbed my sword into his side and pushed him off me moving backwards. I had to finish this quickly. His blood stained my sword and there was a gaping wound on his side, but he didn't seem to notice, just kept advancing. I had no choice but to freeze him.

Melissa went up to check and signaled to the announcer.

"the winner of the last fight of this match it TOKIYA!! Both teams are at a draw. What and exciting match huh? Well that's all people. Come back later if you want to see Fushigi Yuugi vs. Weiss. Thank you and good morning. Breakfast is being served in the dinning room. bye." Alyssa said.

The sphere disappeared and Recca came up and patter me on the back saying, "good fight at least we managed a draw. That group was really good. Guess I underestimated them."

I told him to go unfreeze the poor guy but, knowing him he wouldn't citing reasons like the sun was coming up soon and it would be a warm day. We then made our way to the dinning room to get our stomachs filled.
Note: I know.it took me forever to do this chapter, but at least the chapters come in pairs. I was not bias, and I really couldn't figure out which group was stronger so it resulted in a draw. I know I kept using the same phrases over and over again. Gomen my vocabulary rally limited. I will improve. And .review.pls?? Danke.to those who have. Have I mentioned this before?? Don't read both chapters. Read either one, cause they are of the same fight just from different points of view. I'm very long winded huh?? Gomen gomen. :)
